reforger_questions

[real coral]

Will we be getting vanilla civ vics like Arma 3 had? (i.e. the ute you could shoot out of)

[daring socket]

@dapper timber thanks

[dapper timber]

shooting out of vehicles didnt arrive in Arma 3 until 2 years after release so maybe?

[real coral]

(assuming that cv's were vanilla, I'm xbox and I just realized that it could've just been a mod)

[daring socket]

prolly gonna be a arma 4 thing since this game is only supported for 12 months

[dapper timber]

Shooting out of vehicles was a DLC for Arma 3. It was not a thing when it was first released, I know shocking, but true

[opal delta]

Anyone know if / when there will be a hot fix for the internal server error issue?

[real coral]

That's intriguing

I have noticed that the 5-ton has hinges on its windshield (so did the M6 from DayZ), I wonder if we'll ever be able to push the windshield out and plop an LMG on the dashboard with the bipod

[dapper timber]

There is a patch today. Xbox is already underway and Steam will start soon

[dapper timber]

I mean I fucking hope so cause that sounds like some fun

[real coral]

On that topic... Has anyone tried "riding" vehicles rodeo style in the new engine? I know it didn't work in DayZ, but I keep forgetting to see if it works here.

I just imagine 8 guys laying on a supply truck with LMGs, battleship style, just absolutely laying down rounds as the thing blows past at 80km/h

[sand verge]

So how can you open up a server or how can you set up your personal server for arma reforger

[dapper timber]

What I really want is more freedom with building. The prefab buildings are a nice touch but it would be better if I can take a supply truck and set up some MG nests and roadblocks kind of wherever I wanted

[brittle ridge]

how is the modding for reforger going to work. will it have a steam workshop like arma 3 or will it be something else

[stark ravine]

There is an ingame Workshop

[brittle ridge]

ah ok, thank you

[visual harbor]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting

[sand verge]

Thanks man

[river portal]

Well they have a history of taking Dayz from OG hands. Can't find anything relevant to license tho. Probably written somewhere in the tools agreements?

https://store.steampowered.com/eula/1874880_eula_0
yeah, it's there. GG. You don't reserve any rights for your content.

[drowsy kernel]

Oof, that's a big no go if i understand it correctly. Many people won't spend the time doing complex stuff for their own mod/server if anyone can just copy it.

[sand verge]

how do I change my server to capture and hold game mode?

[cold oxide]

ouu people wont like that.

[river portal]

[river portal]

Yeah, moving to unreal.

[topaz fulcrum]

unpopular opinion: that is a very good thing

closed source mods are bad

[drowsy kernel]

This will make workshop situation with re-uploads even worse. People will just take weapon X from mod X and weapon Y from mod Y and then re-upload.
So you end up with outdated collections of other peoples work 😵‍💫

[river portal]

You allow corporation to take and copy your work. Putting years into learning and creating your mods. All to actually just give all right for it to other folks. Has nothing to do with sources.

[sand verge]

does anyone know how to change my server to capture and hold game mode?

nvm i got it

[cold oxide]

yeah this part in the eula is totally not acceptable. I will not Port/make or do anything with models that are mine inside Reforger till that is changed this is not acceptable at all.

[native silo]

How do I get a private server up on Xbox

[glass jolt]

its probably also to protect themselves from someone trying to claim that they copied a mod somehow

i wouldnt be suprised if there is something to a similar effect in the arma 3 eula

As a Subject to the Grant of License herein above, you may not, in whole or in part, copy, duplicate, reproduce, translate, reverse-engineer, modify, disassemble, decompile, derive source code, create derivative works based on the Program, remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Program or otherwise modify the Program without the prior written consent of the Licensor.

this could probably be interpreted as having a similar effect

[lavish hornet]

guys, is there a way to deploy a MHQ? i saw it somewhere, but how?

in Conflict mode

[drowsy kernel]

It's not. "Program" so Arma 3 executables and not user created content ^^

[glass jolt]

mods probably count as derivative works based on the program

but im hardly a lawyer

[drowsy kernel]

Yea some feedback from a BI official would be nice.

If i understand at it right, this would be the case.
Hypothetical Example: RHS for Reforger
Outcome: Anyone could just take the models and stuff and pack it into their own mod without violating any rules.

[glass jolt]

yeah and? its not like the RHS team have any way to monetise it even if they wished to, is it just going to hurt their feelings that someone copy and pasted it into another mod

like its not a nice thing to do but it doesnt really have any meaningful effect on the RHS team

[drowsy kernel]

Another example: I spend 4000 hours to make a custom mod for a private server and everyone could just take my work without any restrictions.

Which will result in less diversity and less quality because no one is spending so much time if anyone can just copy it.

[glass jolt]

why not?

[placid marten]

Not necessary. But they need to keep credits on the original work at least.

You can't have closed sources in modding

[glass jolt]

i mean im not arguing you should do it, but at the end of the day you dont have any commercial license and your rights are always going to be limited if you are modding someone elses game

[drowsy kernel]

You can, just look at Arma. You can't just steal other peoples models and re-upload them.

I understand that Arma 3 workshop situation is not the best solution but this is just ridiculous .

[placid marten]

I don't really like this situation either. At least some private server-side content would be good I believe.

[drowsy kernel]

Many people want to make unique stuff and have a unique "selling point" for their community/project and not work for others.

[topaz fulcrum]

wait, since when can you not?

[drowsy kernel]

Just look at #ip_rights_violations

[zenith sable]

You can, just not legally

[topaz fulcrum]

idk if it is so much illegal as it is “not allowed”

there is a HUGE difference there

[zenith sable]

It ultimately should be up to the creator to decide how their content should be used. That’s why APL licenses exist, no?

That part of modding Arma hasn’t changed, and I think it’s a very reasonable system

[glass jolt]

is that not mostly regarding content ripped from other games

[placid marten]

The lack of sandbox content and documentation is weird. And they can redistribute your work without respecting your terms (you can't put your own license if I understood correctly). :/

[river portal]

according to license you don't decide anymore. read it up

[sand verge]

can someone point me in the right direction on how to setup a capture & hold server?

[zenith sable]

Technically violations of APL license fall under IP rights violations. In Arma 3 it is up to the creator how they want to license their mod

[slow pagoda]

how I read that.

1. a new mod must not infringe anyones copyright

2. a mod maker gives** BI **right to copy modify etc (so they can distribute it on the plaftrom, steam workshop has same thing) and then BI can allow users to copy and modify as long as point 1 is also fulfilled

but some clarification would be good

[zenith sable]

Is APL-ND not a thing anymore?

[real coral]

Mod is shorthand for "Modification," not "Module"

[warm scaffold]

I just updated my game like 2 gig update. Is it just patches?

[river portal]

They crearly didn't like that Battle Royale is not their IP 😆

[tame fjord]

Doesn't this just mean that, yes you need to let stuff kind of open, but at the same time they can't do pretty much anything with that because you can't infringe the copyright. It's just words but you still have the rights to call DMCA etc.

[real coral]

Will we be able to use the light switches in buildings in the future? I know it's a completely moot feature to the main idea of the game, but I've just been wondering since the lights never seem to be on, and this is a channel for questions. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river portal]

There is no steam workshop. DMCA is not a thing.
It means they decide what to do with your mod. Weither it can be copied e.t.c. or not.

[ruby meteor]

Hi, i play on xbox and i have no sounds when the game lunched. I'm use the series x with an mixamp pro with beyerdynamic. Can i help me?

[unreal surge]

anyone else having the bug where building dont load only the interior and windows

[valid marsh]

are there any scenarios to download yet

[urban vale]

how i fix this problem please ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/868470647465066548/976538070373519370/image0.jpg

[glass jolt]

patch coming for pc any minute now that should help

[urban vale]

any minute ? so 30 min max ?

[glass jolt]

i mean ideally yes, realistically, whenever they get around to it

[urban vale]

thanks

[glass jolt]

any time between half an hour ago and 2 and a half hours from now is our best guess atm

[south blade]

0.5-2 hours*

[wild jacinth]

Will console gain the ability to start and establish dedicated servers?

[glass jolt]

self hosting isnt a thing for pc either rn

[wild jacinth]

Ok just excited for the new game console has been needing a good game for sim

[ebon wigeon]

Does anyone know why I when get in a match I get kicked out of the game in a minute or two and returned to the main menu (I am on xbox if that’s the problem)

[glass jolt]

best bet if you want you own server would probably be renting a server and running a dedicated server on it, though i wouldnt recommend spending the money until the stability issues are sorted

[glossy saddle]

Is there a way to make a custom private server with mods?

[glass jolt]

you would have to run a dedicated server, self hosting is not in reforger atm

[glossy saddle]

Oh. Do you know if there going to add it?

[glass jolt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wiki says it was removed but i think this was before release

[slow pagoda]

I would not state your take on it as such fact at this time.

[glass jolt]

Also known as Listen Server, a Player-Hosted Server is a server with a local client that plays on it too.

Arma Reforger does not allow for Player-Hosted Server as of v0.9.5.

we can only hope they plan to add it back in like it was for arma 3

[glossy saddle]

Oh. thanks for the info

[dusk moth]

Hey, is there any way for me to host a zeus game master mission for friends without setting up a dedicated server?

[real coral]

I figured out how to use dynamic stance on controller (rb+↑/↓on rs), but how do I use dynamic walkspeed?

[dusk moth]

Nevermind, just read up

[uneven fox]

does anyone know how to bind a mouse button?? i am clicking it and its not binding

[stray blade]

is there a way to change workshop addons directory? Cause i have reforger on E drive but addons are downloaded to C drive (my c drive is quite small)

[near silo]

Do we have a changelog yet for the update?

[south blade]

Yes

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/may-19th-update

[near silo]

Thanks!

[coarse mulch]

When Arma Reforger is gonna be available on GeForce NOW?

[coral magnet]

can i name myself on steam 'Bohemia Interactive' and then release a mod to make it look like it was officially released by Bohemia Interactive? 🤔

how can i know all these mods by 'Bohemia Interactive' in the workshop are actually made by BI

[cedar hemlock]

does arma reforger have lesser gun recoil and lesser "gun moving around when aiming down sights due to stamina" thing?

[regal turtle]

It's just me or weapon wobbling with low stamina is much less present compared to arma? Is it will be changed?

[cedar hemlock]

welp its not just you now. lol. it feels almost unfair that arma 3 player have so much wobble.

[regal turtle]

lol, just read your question ))

[cedar hemlock]

I think its because its made for consoles too. Im not sure. Its preference though. Ive shot a gun IRL and Arma 3's gun wobble seems more realistic.

[knotty pier]

one has to wait until steam workshop gets released 😄

[coral magnet]

there will be no steam workshop for this game

because theres no steam workshop on consoles

[cedar hemlock]

Thats kinda unfortunate. For me at least. I find Steam Integration easier than a dedicated mod page.

[onyx imp]

pretty sure it's actually based on your bohemia interactive account

[knotty pier]

Where do I find Workshop?
In-game. In the future, we plan to also support Steam Workshop for PC players.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/faq

[regal turtle]

We cant say for sure, but I bet it will be harder on console to stabilize wobbling weapon with thumbsticks

[coral magnet]

yes, ingame workshop is not steam workshop

[knotty pier]

read the whole thing

[coral magnet]

🤔 hmm so in the end modders can choose to never release their mods ingame because reasons and consoles can eat dirt like usual. interesting

[knotty pier]

correct

[regal turtle]

"Arma 3's gun wobble seems more realistic". Yup that is why we love arma

[knotty pier]

you can also intentionally not make your mod usable on consoles (or pc) considering there are per platform configs, its up to the developer after all

[reef fiber]

Hey, is there a way to move a stack of items (magazines, bandages, etc) as one big pack between inventory and ground or do i need to spam G or right mouse button 50 times?

[fossil sparrow]

Hey, what did the arma reforger update add or fix?

[cedar hemlock]

Should I buy Reforger or should I just save for A4? I am new to Arma and I have only recently bought A3.

[knotty pier]

A4 is still far* away, reforger is very early access with very game breaking bugs

[balmy loom]

I would say enjoy your time in A3 a while longer sense you have only recently bought it. Then you can decide for yourself. For me it was an automatic yes because I'm an addicted fiend lol.

[fossil sparrow]

Hey, why is there a mod that places all controller keys to the power button? Isn't that kind of weird?

[cedar hemlock]

Yeah. Ill stick with A3 then. I dont think ill be able to play A4 anyway when it releases cause life,

[tacit ginkgo]

this may be a really stupid question but i'm asking it anyways, can you see yourself on the map or am i going to have to really brush up on my map reading skills?

[fossil sparrow]

Nope. But its really easy to see the distance once you get the meter bar next to a square to measure the distance, and then seeing your surrounding, but in a forest it might be harder to notice.

[bitter badge]

how do you play different terrains on reforger?

[reef fiber]

By waiting for the community to make them. Then the senarios that are published define which world they are for and everything switches automatically for that

[regal turtle]

Enjoy A3. There is a lot of content to have fun with.

[spare wind]

are the servers fixed?

[bitter badge]

say I download a terrain off the workshop. do I now have to download a scenario made for said terrain to be able to just walk around the terrain?

[reef fiber]

Yes, or open the world in workbench to play it there

[strange igloo]

Anyone got the changelog for the new patch?

[bitter badge]

ahh that's a bit of poor design... hope that'll be changed in the future

[jaunty skiff]

why cant i join any 64 player servers only 32 work

[slim ledge]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/may-19th-update

[strange igloo]

thanks

[dusk moth]

Would it be possible to use the reforger server tool to host a server on my pc, and play it with friends at the same time?

[real coral]

when should I expect packets to be interpolated?

[tame pulsar]

Yes. You need to read how to launch it with your config tho and open the server required ports

[twin canyon]

Does the new enfusion engine/reforger support terrain under terrain? Like tunnels, caves, bunkers etc? I know years back this ability was demonstrated for VBS2, just curious if we can finally make some interesting maps

[dusk token]

Why is the game still not allowing me to join servers even after update?

[strange igloo]

same here

[dusk token]

This is ridiculous, it has been over a day and still can't even play the game.

[strange igloo]

have you tried the modded gamemode?

[bitter badge]

how does someone make a scenario for a custom terrain when you can't open workshop downloaded terrains in the tools?

[dusk moth]

Yes as far as I know. I saw a video of a cave someone found on the base map.

[vapid summit]

can you add map markers like a3 or no?

[brisk shore]

RENDER : (NOT OK) Adapter 'NVIDIA GeForce GT 710' does not support feature level 12_0

everytime i load up the game this comes up in my log section, any hints to fix it or is my graphics card to low

[sterile adder]

is there patch notes for todays patch?

[topaz zinc]

Yes
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/may-19th-update

[outer grail]

I think it was just cave made with stones above terrain

[dusk moth]

thats a fair point

[sterile adder]

thanks

[sand verge]

Are mods made in Reforger going to be portable to Arma 4?

[dusk moth]

probably not

[sand verge]

Why

[unreal junco]

probably yes

[hallow umbra]

Any plan to allow the game to run without battleeye? It would be nice to turn off for private servers as well as being able to use reshade for in game photography and video.

[ebon ibex]

did anyone confirm aircraft and boats being added in the future?

[true mesa]

youre kidding right? reforger literally is just a test game for the new engine used in Arm4 - everything in reforger is going to be in arma4. and vice versa. do you not understand how game development works?

[sand verge]

I think I heard modders saying that they can make aircraft

[ebon ibex]

hell yeah

[woeful sorrel]

arma 4 will be also cold war setting?

[ebon ibex]

doubt it

[woeful sorrel]

they wrote in FAQ that they will transfer assets so I was worried

[ebon ibex]

reforger was basically a remake of flashpoint cold war crisis in a better engine

[hazy prairie]

How does ranking work? Is it per server?

[sand verge]

It’s per match

[hazy prairie]

Oh, how many ranks are there?

[sand verge]

I don’t know probably around 3-5

[dusk moth]

How do you log in as admin on a game master server?

I get no response with "#login <password>"

[final gull]

I see videos of guys playing solo against bots. How ?

[silent ember]

@final gull probably game master

[sour topaz]

Do ranks save? or they get reset every time you rejoin the same server or every time you join a different one?

[sand verge]

every match new rank

[digital vortex]

When is EDITOR arriving?

[swift path]

-> Tool Section in Steam

[digital vortex]

we not gonna have it in game? like all other armas?

[swift path]

currently you can find 2 additional things in "Tools"

not sure if it will be integrated later, probably not as these things will later on not work on console

[digital vortex]

I just wish I could be able to have the same lvl of freedom I do with A3 and A2, making 2 OPs a week for my community

[swift path]

it's early alpha 🙂 I have faith that we'll get there

[maiden gust]

I made a modification, but in the game it weighs 0 bytes
how can I fix it?

[sand verge]

As soon as they fix server stability

People will be happy, the. We can play and mod and create an amazing experience to tide us over till arma 4

[maiden gust]

what does the server have to do with it? I created the modification locally

[sand verge]

Sorry wrong chat

[maiden gust]

ok

[digital vortex]

not so sure, all armas had a editor on the very 1st version

[swift path]

I think the editor is there... have you checked the Tools section in Steam?

[digital vortex]

not yet

[swift path]

one is called "Tools" and one is called "Server"

and I think the Tools one has the Editor in it

[digital vortex]

testing here

@swift path What they have there ain't close to what we have on Eden editor, capability of creating missions, triggers, events etc at least not in a friendly way that I'm used to. I really hope they add a map editor in game ASAP because being able to create whatever kind of mission that I want is what makes me play arma

[swift path]

yeah i'm pretty sure it will get there 🙂

[torn geyser]

Yeah tools are more for modding I believe, not as user friendly as the Eden editor.

[formal knoll]

is there crossplay?

[torn geyser]

Not yet Xbox and pc are on different versions but I believe that’s the plan

[swift path]

when I look into the Workshop in Reforger I can see many attempts of assets and even map testing there... so I'm not an expert or even know what's in "Tools" but things are moving... after all we're on day 3 ^^

[calm lava]

does someone know where i can find the config file for the keybinds?

[tender night]

Does Bohemia provide security/bug bounty hunting rewards?

[swift path]

they should!

[torn geyser]

Probably not tho 😦 a lot of people report the same bugs

[rain star]

any good servers recommended i keep gettin dc'd

[fast kelp]

Are they going to bring the aiming deadzone slider back? It made it more intuitive for me.

Is there any chance Bohemia is going to add a VR mode or are they just going to ignore all the fanfare people have had for that?

[digital vortex]

TrackIR support too

[dull girder]

is there anyway to make my ads hold instead of toggle? I've tried but I'm not able to bind any mouse buttons at all not even controls that were previously bound to my mouse. however it does recognize my mouse in the game and works fine, I just cant bind any control to it.

[quasi atlas]

5min into a conflict game my FPS drops to 1. CPU and GPU are at 4% only and memory is at 40%. Does anybody have the same issue. How do I solve this?

[crystal knoll]

It is PvP game, right? is there any option for server to force disable 3rd person view?

[fluid hornet]

Yes

[crystal knoll]

Oh, yes, thanks.

[sand verge]

Reforger is playable offline?

[solemn hatch]

Is there any way to access the debug console in Arma Reforger atm?

[stark talon]

i cant join servers for some reason

[fast kelp]

Do the devs ever actually listen to feedback

[solemn hatch]

Yes, they do.

[fast kelp]

On here?

[candid anchor]

one of my favorite companies, the game is in good hands :)

[fast kelp]

I'll believe it when deadzone aiming comes back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3q8N_L1VQQ

I know VR is impossible, but deadzone aiming was like my standard for what counts as an "advanced" milsim FPS.

I fell in love with it and I never wanna go back to COD style if I don't have to.

[quiet token]

Hello,
For hosting Server with good performance (~125 slot)
How many core you need ?
How many ram you need ?
1To is good for a sdd storage ?
How many bandwith you need ?

[woeful blaze]

does reforger have clientside mods or is that an unimplemented system

[sand verge]

can i play offline?

[solemn hatch]

Yeah you can

[sand verge]

with bot?

[solemn hatch]

Yup, start up Game Master and you can place AI down.

[slender kite]

Hiyah, just wanted to know if anyone else was having the issue where they lose connection after exactly 30 seconds

[strange lagoon]

there is people having varied connection issues

some being disconnected after 30 seconds while others like myself gets disconnected with in 20mins

[solemn hatch]

The devs are aware of this. Afaik they're prioritizing to fix these server issues.

[lapis adder]

i think you will find better info in #reforger_servers

[slender kite]

it seems to only happen on specific servers though

[forest ginkgo]

what is the server cap being aimed for

[lapis sun]

Is there anyway to garrison troops within building using the zeus editor

[hollow elm]

Does anyone at all know how to fix the issue where you cannot download the workshop mods at all? I try to download them, but they just appear with a red "X" in the download queue and every time I try to join a server I can not stay in said server for more than 30 seconds before being booted out. I have tried restarting, uninstalled Battleye and reinstalled it twice, uninstalled and reinstalled the game three times, and verified game files. I have been trying since last night to get this to work, and I am curious if anyone else has either A: had this issue as well, or B: learned how to fix it. Thank you for your help in advance.

[night field]

hey sorry maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but im curious about the new amra reforger game and if i can host a dedicated xbox server from my homelab? cant seem to find anywhere if its crossplatform or not. but the mods seem to be and the .json file has me curious since it specifies what platform is all.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/768888833496317972/976963516214939658/unknown.png

[mighty anvil]

is it possible to change kph to mph?

[formal knoll]

Is it possible to play mods with other people on console yet?

[rich surge]

Will Reforger get removed/redundant by 4?

[cinder geode]

iirc it won’t be supported once a4

[worthy ocean]

Heyo, i was wondering how exactly i add workshop mods to my nitrado server?

[rich surge]

Yeah but will it just be "Not a focus of patches anymore" support or outright removed/all of it's content in 4 support I mean, since they make it seem like everything from reforger will be in 4

[rich spindle]

reforger is just a tech demo really where we get a say in some things that should be added or changed, and to flatten out bugs... and since it's the only purpose it really has there's no purpose in supporting an arma 3.5 when you've got an arma 4 🙂

[rich surge]

Yeah but is it literally going to have all of it' content in 4 is what I'm wondering, or is it going to be like A2 where we can still play it.

[rich spindle]

iirc arma 4's theme / time is not yet announced, so it can be something different from reforged, or perhaps I just didn't hear them say so

[distant plume]

Is there a way to manually install mods like in arma 3?

[zenith peak]

PC, console cross-play?

Aircraft mods from 3 in reforger?

Will console be able to do mods like operation trebuchet

[rich spindle]

crossplay unfortunately doesn't seem to work as of now

[sturdy vector]

has anyone figured out if there is a way to connect to rcon or something similar?

[zenith peak]

But will it?

[dreamy goblet]

how do you heal in reforger?

[viscid adder]

Press 5 then hold r

[dreamy goblet]

thanks

[rich spindle]

you don't need to hold it, you can just tap once

[viscid adder]

Nice

[cinder geode]

But holding is more immersive

[rich spindle]

I believe it's something that will come eventually

[worthy ocean]

What exactly do i put in the config to add mods to a server ?

[worn quiver]

Has the PC update been released? Did it fixed the connection errors?

[gritty raven]

no idea, one update was a few hours ago

didnt fix it

[viscid adder]

I've seen people say that private servers are working fine. But I dc'd a few times myself

[quiet solstice]

What FPS can I expect with a i5-11600k, MSI RTX 2070 Super, and 16 GB Ram

[rich surge]

It's fixed for some people but plenty still report issues

[fast kelp]

The casuals get a say, I dunno if we do

[unreal rapids]

pc network patch when

[cinder geode]

It was about 5 hours ago. You missed it!

[dull adder]

So are we not going to have import .xob tools in the free plugin

[short zealot]

So is there no mission editor and just the workbench or in game game master to do it?

[calm lion]

is reforger going to go through any MAJOR changes, because the UI, lack of 'zeus' options, and the small things that just aren't there like changing stances

[sly creek]

So what’s the best way to work out where I am when I’m lost? 😅

Just keeps crashing anyway.

Maybe 32 players is more stable?

[short zealot]

Lost in game, as in cant find your way around? Map, compass, and taking notice of structure or terrain relative to location. Like if you dont know the town and cant get to the outskirts to check a sign, you can find a landmark like a church, examine what is near or adjacent a street over cross-referencing your map. In the field it gets harder using mountains, most generally if you can see where your going, you can find out where you've been. Tedious though when used to GPS and bluforce tracking. I hope that helps.

[sly creek]

Ty dude. Appreciate it

[red escarp]

Eventhough this is tedious and frustrating at times, I really like this approach and I feel like this adds so much to the games realism.

[signal spruce]

#reforger_servers might be the place to ask. BI accounts are cross platform, but there is currently no crossplay between PC and Xbox.

[signal spruce]

In time.

[copper prism]

is there a way to select what 40mm grenades we load?

[rich spindle]

regarding that, what's the difference between the two?

[signal spruce]

On the bottom right of the map screen, it will tell you the general area that you are in. Just have to then use the map to do a little land nav to figure out specifics. 😅

[copper prism]

I think HEDP is more effective against soft skinned vehicles, but isn't as good against troops out in the open

[calm lion]

Thank you, am very excited, so far it runs like a dream

[scenic badger]

no

[signal pine]

When will we be able to join multiplayer 🤔

Any fix coming? No announcent saying they're working on it or anything

[scenic badger]

They released a patch today that didn't do anything. Maybe they will release another patch tomorrow

They announced today's patch pretty suddenly

I'm reading the reforger_servers channel and there's something going on where server owners are getting sudden bandwidth spikes that just boot everyone. Something is wrong

[worthy ocean]

I've been trying to figure out how to get mods working on servers for a couple of hours now. Really baffled as to what im doing wrong

[signal spruce]

It's not that it didn't do anything, just not a solution to every issue so far.

[signal spruce]

#reforger_servers is probably the best place to inquire. 🙂

[night field]

ok, i have an xbox to play on. id just rather host the server myself rather than having to pay to rent a server is all wasnt sure if i could do that on xbox is all.

[frank trench]

Anyone having massive fps drops while scoping on pc? Mine go from 80 to 10-20

[hardy merlin]

thats due to it having to render the game twice basically

[frank trench]

Do you know of any way to fix it or at least reduce the drop?

[unreal junco]

you can try using the 2d scope but going from 80 to 20 sounds more like a bug

[hardy merlin]

what he said basically

but again that could be an issue with the game, could you list your specs?

[frank trench]

Got a gtx 3070 and a 8 core processor

[hardy merlin]

yeah definitely something to do with the game then

[unreal junco]

restart game probaby fix it or if you are on ultra settings, try medium/high ones

[frank trench]

I play on 4k resolution so maybe theres an issue with that

Restarting my game seems to have helped a bit, I now drop to 30-40 fps instead of 10-20

You mentioned a 2d scope, is that an item or an option?

[unreal junco]

well my first couples games was laggy AF even in game master mode

[hardy merlin]

its a game option

[frank trench]

2d scopes fixes it, tho its less fun lol

[hardy merlin]

might have to compromise until it gets "fixed"

[unreal junco]

try removing some options like nearby depth field or lower resolution and activate fidelity thing, doing some research and giving feed back on tracker would be awesome

[frank trench]

That helps, I gained a few fps. Thx for the help guys, I'll keep tweaking with the options and see if I can fix it fully, but 50 fps seems reasonable

[thick basalt]

Does anyone know about hosting game master lobbies on Xbox? Not sure if it's been implemented fully or just isn't working for me at the moment. For reference, when I start a lobby I can't invite or have anyone join it.

[wary sonnet]

Is Reforger (and Tools) available for Linux?

[rustic gate]

@signal spruce can u confirm if another patch is coming and worth hanging around to play today or should we all play another day

[signal spruce]

I can't comment on when the next update will be and it's currently 4 AM in Czechia. So the team is sleeping at the moment.

[wanton canopy]

Not able to bind mouse buttons atm. This is a known issue right? Tried redownloading, messing with files. Nothing.

[foggy thicket]

Known issue.

[digital vortex]

TECH DEMO NEEDS A EDITOR

[jaunty quest]

Reforger is not just a tech demo it is a game

[leaden lily]

is it safe to download stuff from the workshop now?

[lapis adder]

i would wait until the devs say something about it.

[rich spindle]

early access game

and no it's basically a tech demo

for testing XD

[stone burrow]

anyone know how to deploy a bipod? cant find anything in keybinds

[gritty raven]

@stone burrow I think it auto deploys when you lay down..idk about crouching and trying on like windows

[wary sonnet]

Afaik not available (yet) other than laying down, which autodeploys it

[trail lily]

Not implemented yet

Any work around a for the session error when trying to join servers?

[real coral]

Is there a way for me to host a Zues multiplayer on console? Originally I was under the impression that it wasn't possible, but now I'm not so sure.

Edit: Nevermind, Zeus cannot be hosted on console as of yet.

[sand verge]

Will reforger have the same mechanics as dayz (btw I've never played arma so that's why I'm asking)

[regal mesa]

does anyone know how to stop being disconnected so fucking mutch?

[hardy merlin]

thats what im trying to figure out too man

havent been able to play more than 15 minutes without a disconnect or a crash

[rich spindle]

no other way to describe it other then playing an arma game XD

[cedar quarry]

DayZ is built off old arma but reforger is gonna be more updated so for a DayZ experience I would recommend Arma2/3 with 2 being what it originally was built on.

But even then they’re vastly different

[signal spruce]

Correct, only official singleplayer content.

You do have an option of playing alone in something like Game Master mode though for now.

[weary wing]

ok im being dumb im sure, but what are the controls for the editor camera? i can only seem to scroll to move forward and back

[jaunty quest]

Currently this is a occuring issue everywhere

[elfin swift]

Is it a "WIP" or am I not doing it right in game Master I gotta be within like 20-30 meters for the AI to engage each other or myself ? Just cerious if this is a known problem ? Thanks in advance guys

[exotic sphinx]

Anyone a Mod Developer/maker for Reforger?

[jaunty quest]

Most mod makers are getting use to the new editor as it is way more complex then arma 3s editor.

[exotic sphinx]

Ah yeah, i had looked at the tools earlier. It's really complex.

[jaunty quest]

Yea, look forward to seeing harold on Arma reforged. 😉

[exotic sphinx]

lmfao right?

[jaunty quest]

If you are looking to do content currently there is a (in my opinion) major issue with the servers natcode right now.
For some reason you can only join certain servers and then once your in disconnecting is highly likely within 15-30 minutes of playtime

[rustic gate]

@signal spruce im curious on why there wasn't a open beta for the game

[signal spruce]

Because it was decided to go the road of Early Access instead.

[rustic gate]

Well did the devs play much

[high rune]

Of course they did lol when you work on a game you go back and forth between playing the game and programming once every like 2 minutes

The main gameplay devs may not have played it at scale for extended periods, though

[jaunty quest]

The developers obviously in my opinion did a good job as the game itself is pretty stable and reliable however, We cannot nor should we blame the developers on the current state of multiplayer since there was no way of knowing that there would be this issue without stressing current servers and natcode of reforger

[rustic gate]

Yeah that's fair and im not complaining about the game cause the games good but surely they had to of known they had server problems

[high rune]

It is indeed important to remember that games are really just absurdly complicated pieces of software and it's entirely possible that the infrastructure they tested it on didn't have these issues

[jaunty quest]

I am sure they were wondering which is why they released early access however to fix an issue it needs to be identified first.

[rustic gate]

If they lile put it out as a beta for lile 1 day they would of had a good idea on what's up

Thats why you make a beta that cost nothing

Cause I see it as us doing there jobs sure yeah were helping but no one has been able to play and it feels like they don't try on the server side

[jaunty quest]

No one is doing "there jobs" lol

They are way more experienced and skilled at what they are doing then the majority of us.

[rustic gate]

When we find buds and report it id think that's us doing there job

[weary wing]

lol

[rustic gate]

Bugs* expecially if we're paying for it

Sure they fix it but they didn't prevent it

[jaunty quest]

You are expecting them to play god and without testing know the outcome of there game. If this were true an issue would not be there to begin with.

[rustic gate]

Exactly so your saying it wasn't tested

[jaunty quest]

The early access is the test.

[signal spruce]

But that has been happening since even in Arma 2 days. We have a QA team, but things still come up that we don't foresee when the community gets ahold of it. Arma has always been about having the community work in tandem to BI to make the best game possible. Which is why we went the route of Early Access. To allow players to experience the tools and help shape it for the future.

[weary wing]

this literally happens with every game that is trying something new and ambitious, how do u expect a fulltime dev team to stress test with thousands fulltime aswell (which is the amount of time needed to do these things)

[fathom loom]

But why make reforger around console?

[rustic gate]

But we can't even tell you what the real bugs are in the game cause we can't even play it

How can we shape what we can't play

[fathom loom]

Why couldn't reforger just stick to being pc oriented?

[kindred star]

🍿

[signal spruce]

That's a misleading question. It wasn't necessarily made "around console."

[jaunty quest]

They are figuring out currently if the console community is even interested in milsim games. Reforger is the test to decide on if they want to continue on this route.

[weary wing]

it was made to make money, like any game ever...

[kindred star]

Console already had flashpoint

[short delta]

Is BI going to add FSR 2.0 or DLSS support? I'm gaming at 4k, could definitely use the FPS boost from some AI super sampling

[weary wing]

not surprising, and also totally ok. they r trying to build something NEW!

[jaunty quest]

Arma is a whole different ballgame.

[rustic gate]

They have the numbers on who bought it from where they know

[fathom loom]

The UI is pretty console-oriented though, Zeus in Reforger looks like it was made for console, why alienate potential pc fans because you want to go the route of console? Zeus in Arma 3 vs Reforger is just so different

[rustic gate]

From hype alone and first day sales they'll ha e a great indication on who's keen

[high rune]

While generally true, the UI in particular was definitely made around consoles

[kindred star]

ima PC gamer, I think I know that, so.... ? Lol

[high rune]

The rest of the game is more or less fine, in line with what you'd expect from a new Arma launch

When I say UI I mean specifically the menus, not the inventory/interaction. GM, main/settings menus, etc.

New interaction system and inventory are fine imo

[jaunty quest]

What I will say to this is that they are not alienating PC gamers, they are advancing and modernizing systems to be more accessible to those who were not previously into arma and gathering a larger audience to enjoy the games they make. Nothing should prevent that.

[fathom loom]

Simple game from 2001 with not a lot of features is easier to port to console without changing the basics of what made the game Arma (or OFP), I love the graphics of this new game, the physics, the sounds, but making the gameplay and UI centered around consoles is just...bleh..when other Arma games have always been on PC, and have worked and maintained a big community

[signal spruce]

You're still talking about specific elements of the whole. Simplicity doesn't necessarily mean it was made for console though. It's still very early yet and there is plenty of time to shape all aspects of the game based on community feedback.

[jaunty quest]

In my opinion the UI improvements were to improve accessibility.

[high rune]

On console maybe, they harm usability on PC though and are just generally far less efficient

[jaunty quest]

Id disagree.

[fathom loom]

Some PC Gamers are for sure feeling alienated because of the fact Reforger seems to be based around Consoles (let's not forget that PDF file on Bohemia's brand and marketing everyone that got leaked before Reforger was released)

[high rune]

They've been "modernized" which means the important parts have been spread across twice as much screen as they need to be, making it harder to read and navigate

[rustic gate]

@signal spruce is quater to 8 surely you'd have word on if there working on it or up or something

[kindred star]

Agreed, Im Skeptical about console holding arma back, I own consoles and any game I own on PC that I own on console is a completely different game altogether on pc versions, the thought of arma on pc being the same version as console is concerning since consoles can't even run 800 AI on mount and blade warband, let alone 800 AI on a arma op

[jaunty quest]

I am not a console gamer but in my opinion the UIs are improvements. Not everyone feels the same but I do.

[high rune]

Man they can't give you a play-by-play of everything they're doing, let them work

[rustic gate]

Mate they've made it clear tbere alseep

[fathom loom]

Exactly!

[high rune]

You're certainly entitled to your opinion and I don't think the current UI should be removed, but PCs and consoles require different approaches to the UI design

[signal spruce]

I'll give you an example, I've seen plenty of people say that the interaction system in Reforger, instead of the previous AddAction (scroll wheel) menu, was removed for console simplicity, but that was something that MANY PC players wanted gone long before Reforger. 😅

[weary wing]

its up to us and community to turn the PC version into something special, but the consoles being able to get theyre hands on this is nothing but good news. worked with Dayz and brung alot of console players TO PC

[fathom loom]

Honestly I love the scroll wheel menu, I know many people actually disliked it, but I enjoy it idk why, I think it's more simple imo

[kindred star]

I own dayz on console and pc console version is potato luckily different version on pc lol

[jaunty quest]

Partially I feel the addition of console support for arma has tied up a mess for the current natcode in the game possibly causing the connection issues? I do agree currently console could be holding arma back and while I said currently this is questionable if it will remain that way.

[silent lance]

Hey @signal spruce I saw in the faq saying the game is supposed to leave Early Access in 12 months. Which sounds good no issue there.

I also see random comments saying that it will stop being supported/updated after 12 months.

Is that so? Is that something official? Or just made up?

[jaunty quest]

^ Bump

[signal spruce]

Suggest you go for a walk or watch a movie to kill the time. You'll know there is an update when it's announced. 😅

[kindred star]

Yeah well the zues ops work well on reforger for us Arma players, let console wait for their mp lol

[signal spruce]

For now, I can't comment further on it, but you'll probably hear something in the near(ish) future.

[regal mesa]

like i spent money on this only for me to not be able to join servers and if i get into one i get a max playtime of 15 min

[jaunty quest]

@signal spruce

Currently is BI aware of the major multiplayer issues (I assume so)
Is that prioritized right now and will it be fixed in the coming updates?

[rustic gate]

Its raining and almost 5 at night my time just want to be able to play 1 proper game of the game I just bought, like give us eta brah

[regal mesa]

[signal spruce]

#reforger_discussion message

[high rune]

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I have no gripe with the new interaction system, which by nearly all accounts is a big improvement. Same with the stance/speed stuff.

What I'm referring to is specifically the main menu, the settings menu, and the GM interface, all of which have been redesigned to be either "modernized" or "consolized" or whatever you call it, but either way they are suboptimal for PC use, especially the GM interface which has major functional ramifications for gameplay.

I really don't think the game has been "simplified" in any regard compared to stock A3, this is purely a UI/UX design problem. The new UIs shouldn't be removed as I'm sure they're great for using a controller, but there's no way that PC and console can share a UI, and forcing the console UI on all PC players is going to alienate people. I'm sure some PC players will want the more accessible new interface, but it's not a great taste to have it forced upon you after decades of Arma's clean, "enterprise"-style computer interface with normal UI design elements that software has been standardized on for decades.

And honestly if it's entirely BI's intention to make Reforger console-focused I don't really have a problem with that, but without context it's easy to worry that A4 will be the exact same way

My worries are actually rather suppressed having seen the leaked PR documents, without that context I would be much more worried

You don't have to come up with a speaking-as-the-voice-of-BI answer to this immediately btw, I just hope this makes sense

[signal spruce]

I have no gripe with the new interaction system
It was an example.

But my point was that UI and other things can be improved. We hear you guys and we're just as passionate about this game as you all. We get you want to see it be its best too. It's all about priority and time.

Also, welcome to day 4.

[high rune]

Yeah I was about to say, the game has literally only been out like 72 hours so I'm entirely aware

But it's not as if the new UI is unpolished; on the contrary, it's very polished and non-buggy, so it's clear that a lot of effort went into designing it to be the way it is

I just hope that Arma 4 will get a bifurcated UI with a PC/"compact" layout that's as optimal for use with a mouse as the new one is for consoles/controllers

This is a concern for the future, it's not hard to tolerate the new one for Reforger's lifetime

[signal spruce]

This next year is going to be crazy. All I will say on it.

[high rune]

I'll probably stfu about these issues once I'm able to actually load into a server and play 🙂

[whole orbit]

Stop exciting me, your getting me nauseated

As someone who has written an Arma-like toy FPS on my own handwritten engine, I can attest to the complications of the process of working on these things

Especially network-related stuff, dear god. Have you ever worked on network infrastructure?

[rustic gate]

So u give me a eta

[true mesa]

yeah eta is 1 hour

[rustic gate]

Niceeeeeee

[high rune]

Somewhere between 1 day and 1 month, mean ETA likely 2-3 days

Depending on the nature of the problem

[whole orbit]

Aye, still never got an answer I think. But, do characters actually get thirsty in arma reforger?

[signal spruce]

Not currently.

[whole orbit]

I wish to drink from the toilets

[high rune]

Lmfao

[signal spruce]

I've seen some cult like followings already for those toilets...

@signal spruce

searched around for an answer to my question when I did not find,

Will there be DLC in reforger?

[high rune]

He literally just linked a post which clearly contains all the information he can disseminate

[signal spruce]

Calm. It's okay!

[signal spruce]

Unfortunately, the previous answer is all I can give right now.

[open vapor]

"Improving features such as health"
Gives me hope we'll see something sort of like ACE medical to give medics and getting shot more meaning

[short delta]

@signal spruce Will FSR 2.0 or DLSS be supported? 4k performance on PC is erratic, might benefit from AI super sampling

[hazy remnant]

Is 5.56 supposed to be able to penetrate the armour of the BTR?

[whole orbit]

I have noticed my character would be filled with Bullet holes and 'wound' in inventory.

[sand verge]

I've been experiencing problems with the loading of terrain and textures, it is extremely slow and very often thing will sometimes be invisible or low poly, inventory items will also not have their textures shown

[north steppe]

good morning does anyone know a rcon tool where you can see the names of the players also? at the EPM tool is only PlayerName and at DART you see nothing.

[rustic gate]

@signal spruce last night when the patch dropped something was wrong with the Aus servers they would start and just restart after takimg a few objectives and it did it a few times before it worked for lile 5hrs

[tame pulsar]

I think that means you're bleeding and will eventually die if not treated

[whole orbit]

I mean, I already patch myself with a bandage. No blood around the screen nor indication of dying.

Just a bloodied up soldier and the wound thing

[tame pulsar]

Hum, maybe there is only so much you can heal with bandages and you aren't able to go back to 100% health

[whole orbit]

Yeah, they're probably gonna be adding more medical equipment in the future

[floral fractal]

Bandages just stop bleeding. It won't recover your health though

[whole orbit]

No wonder why I get sniped by FIA then lol

Yea, after taking enough wounds they can basically sneeze on you and you die.

[tall ocean]

Hi! How do I find out mod parametrs that I'm supposed to put into server config?

Nevermind 😄 Found it

[wise creek]

are you gonna add in a virtual arsenal "mode" like in arma 3 to arma reforger

instead of an arsenal box being just a crate with infinite gear

[bleak cedar]

Are there any plans to add custom chevrons (squads) to the uniform?

Are there any plans to access mods in the workshop (open by link (key), display to friends)?

[split aurora]

Whats the craic with the EULA meaning when you upload something to the workshop you forfeit your rights to your own model and content, and also allow others to rip and modify your content.

[mighty willow]

Where can communities on console recruit?

[sand verge]

Have Pubg filed a lawsuit for copyright infringment?

[wide pendant]

Downloaded clone wars but don’t know where anything is doesn’t show up?

[split aurora]

There is a critical vulnerability on the workshop. Downloading mods allows them to access files on your computer. Delete that mod now @wide pendant

[wide pendant]

I’m on console

[split aurora]

Idk how the issue affects console but it is probably better not having on your machine

[wide pendant]

Ok

[mighty willow]

Clearly on Xbox. But what about a channel here ?

[neat vessel]

Hey got a question, there will be Arma 4 in future? Or this Reforger is the name of the 4th version of this game series?

Thanks.
Just one thing, if I pay for this one, will i be able to play the 4?

[jaunty quest]

Arma 4 is still more then a year away

[vague merlin]

Is there voice activation instead of button press to talk?

[neat vessel]

Why would some one pay for a reforger then? And not be able to play 4...

[jaunty quest]

It is just PTT

[jaunty quest]

Because the finish product of arma 4 will be vastly different and it is still more then a year away maybe 2

Reforger will also be getting more land and eventually air vehicles

[neat vessel]

Damn, thank god i didnt pay for this then.

[jaunty quest]

Reforger is still a game

It is cold war which does not represent the product of arma 4

[neat vessel]

Will it remain as a game when 4 gets released?

[jaunty quest]

Yes. Reforger is still vastly different then what arma 4 will be

[neat vessel]

Awww got it.

[rich surge]

Yeah I say wait for awhile. (As in at least a month)

[rapid rampart]

Yh Russia have the BTR US have Humvees just no armour for the gunner

Theres a couple variations

If you jump in the workshop there's a vehicle test area scenario

Go into workshop download the vehicle test map then go to the scenario's menu you should see it in there

No worries mate enjoy 👍

[vale jungle]

Yea and hopefully A4 has eden 😬😬

[raven rose]

When can we see AR forums?

[shy arrow]

how do you load up maps in game master such as skyros?

[coral jewel]

is motion blur and DLSS planned?

[rapid rampart]

How many votes do we need to appoint a game master?

[raven rose]

Do you have the mod installed for that?

[rapid delta]

Is Reforger cross-platform? I searched for a server which is held by my friend on PC and I can't find it, but others can.

[proud summit]

I think reforger need a proper editor in game, not that Zeus like mode

[flat tusk]

I think they are two different game versions atm, not sure if they will merge in the future

[peak wind]

How do I enable manual(in vehicles)? I can see they have keybinds for it but can’t figure out where to enable it

[steel crow]

When it comes to modding how much can you manage if let's say you only have access to what reforger gives you + Blender?

What would require more than that

[solemn hatch]

Hold on.. was Arma Refroger written in C?

Oh, partly in C, C++ and HLSL. I see. That's pretty neat

[sand verge]

can someone try and join my custom map and see if its working? ❤️

just need to test something rq

[pseudo glen]

Hi is it normal that it takes like 10-20 tries to connect to the server and then its 50-50 if you get kicked out 1minute later? Not complaining but maybe something I can do about it that I don't know.

I have quite a beefy pc and good internet via lan cable.

[light vale]

yeah they are working on fixing that issue now

[radiant kite]

Do bipods work somehow?

[nocturne dune]

no, only when you go prone

[strange igloo]

Any word on when the next patch is coming? Previous one still didn't fix me not being able to join the game

[sand verge]

Is Reforger crossplay with pc and xbox or do they have separate servers?

[vague merlin]

Does reforge use small % of CPU and gpu usages? Even on Hugh quality settings but getting low fps?

[peak wind]

Will they add the ability for ai to drive in the future?

[signal pine]

Is it possible to have hold aim instead of togle?

[maiden gust]

I'm trying to upload my mission to the workshop and this is written in the console:

RESOURCES (E): Failed to load metafile of mission config image:

[manic zenith]

If you mean aiming down sight while holding RMB, then there is option in Setting - Gameplay

[tender plaza]

you could give this a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/utiibo/reforged_key_bindings/

[rich spindle]

In my testing, it uses no more then 25 cpu and on max settings nearly 100 gpu

[keen ore]

Does anyone know how mods work, I’ve played around with fx and Ui ones but how in the world do weapon/camo mods work

Also there are the ones that give you infinite stamina and scopes, are those just straight cheats that affect the main game?

[daring socket]

Anyone hear about any updates for pc players today!

[jolly moth]

Question: when will either map markers or squad locations on map be added? It is extremely difficult to group up with squads and makes coordination a nightmare.

If no squad markers while deployed, can we at least have something that will show us where our squad is when We are on the spawn menu?

[loud abyss]

Question: why is the game crashing without reason and the texture have low quality but i have the graphics on ultra

[ashen shell]

If your squad has a radioman with a connection to HQ you'll see him.
If not, you'll just have to use good old LandNav skills.

[cunning sorrel]

[fossil storm]

Is it me or is respawning on a team mate with a radio buggy? It seems to spawn me back at the first spawn point instead of on the team

[cunning sorrel]

its buggy.

[fossil storm]

Or at least, I choose a spawn point. When timer finishes it resets where I chose. Its really annoying

[mellow jolt]

anyone know how to make an ai sit in the driver seat of a vehicle and drive

[vale tree]

I had to fill the entire vehicle with AI for them to get in the driver seat

maybe taking control of the AI to get in and then release control works

[tough abyss]

You mean the window shields? Handles next to the windows if I get you right

[dawn widget]

has anyone had the problem that the WORKSHOP download is stuck at 0% ??? and its not downloading

[lucid gale]

Do humvee's naturally spawn in Conflict? I haven't seemed to find any.

[jaunty quest]

Yes?

[tawdry furnace]

Anyone working on an Escape from Everon mod scenario? Similar to Escape from Chenarus that was quite popular on Arma 2.

I'm learning the mod tools now to try and recreate it for fun.

[jaunty quest]

Mod creation is difficult on the tool editor

It legit is the developer tool for the game

[tawdry furnace]

well, im not "creating" anything other than setting spawn and extract points... I tried making it just ising the Game Master but you cant seem to set objective rules. at least i couldn't find the tab for it

i was able to set spawn points, and I see a slot for objectives, but could not find an objective in the assets

[daring vapor]

What is new in yesterday update in Refoger?

[worthy crane]

Maybe look into the Capture the base workshop item (idk if it's accessible), considering that changed a lot

[tawdry furnace]

@worthy crane ok ill look into that. I finally figured out how to set objectives in GameMaster. If I can just save the scenario and recall it in GM, I could just set the server up with friends and leave all the settings in auto.

[swift furnace]

Is there gonna be any update about server today?

[nimble mirage]

Is Arma reforger the new arma ? Or just a showcase for the future ?

[dapper timber]

both

[nimble mirage]

I just launched my PC 1 hour ago and I see this, I understand nothing about it. I will check there website for info

[tranquil forge]

Has anyone been able to command ai? Or drive with them in gunner seat? It shows "occupied" when i try to get in a vehicle with ai in gunner

[urban creek]

is this a bug? there's nothing to build at tower regina even though there's a build support structure objective there

https://imgur.com/df1XFwA

[gritty raven]

probably a bug then but before reporting it id restart your game or something

[real coral]

The AI in reforger aren't equipped to drive yet, it's very barebones as they are going to work on it as Reforger develops.

Also, @lucid gale at the moment, no, you must go to a base's (i.e. your HQ) motor pool and request one like you would a supply truck.

[stray blade]

You can command ai via game master, click and press C button.

Ai doesnt wanna be in gunner/driver positions as of now, they only work as ye'olde poor infantry

[chrome star]

Does anyone know if I host a conquest server, can I use the ACE medical system from arma 3 on it,if it's been ported over?

[outer flame]

I'm trying to figure out which are the best quality\performance settings for my setup:

-CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
-RAM: 32GB DDR4 - 3200MHz
-GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 (Using 144hz monitor)
-SSD: SAMSUNG EVO M.2

Also, is it possible to enable console ingame to check it when crash\disconnect happens?

[dim current]

I just cannot join any server

[ashen stag]

same

[digital moat]

yes, but they'll see you dont have a name tag if you get close

[tawdry furnace]

Anyone know how to save a GameMaster scenario after you spend a lot of time setting it up? I cannot find the option.

[copper prism]

I'm having trouble reading the compass, on my screen it's a bit to blurry, any way to fix this?

[chrome star]

Same, not even join for two minutes, then kick, now, I can't join any, at all.

[bold dome]

Anybody knows if they are working on the server joining issue? It's been a long time and still no official statement from the devs..

[gritty raven]

they are, just...not giving updates yet..for some reason

[chrome sphinx]

Well maybe it takes some time to fix things? That's a good reason right? It's not just click one thing and it's done

[chrome sphinx]

Yes they are, there has been already a update which fixed it for a some uses including me but there are still updates coming.

[stray blade]

Update was dropped yesterday, like 2 days after release. So yoi could say they are doing something

[gritty raven]

not talking about that lol, talking about communication, other thenYuri answering questions last night it hasnt been mutch

[stray blade]

Ah, nevermind then

[jaunty quest]

Ultra? Lol

[gritty raven]

you have like the same setup as me except i have a 3060, so, ultra runs awesome for me.

[safe sable]

server issues ever gonna be fixed?

[mossy wigeon]

good point! And thx for the answer 😉

[gritty raven]

they say soon

[mossy wigeon]

I will make a sacrifice the day it will happen, will have to find some goat or something 😄

although on the other hand... they already have my money xD

[calm lion]

Will arma 4 have console support? I hope not

[real coral]

Arma players on their way to un-grow their favorite game's community over a pc superiority complex:

[safe sable]

not really

i dont mind console i just dont want them to sacrifice what makes it arma to appease simplicity

[calm lion]

No, it's extremely limiting when you have a game on console, I just don't want them to dumb it down to much

[safe sable]

i dont see why console people cant just buy a keyboard

the only issue is controllerw, which honestly sucks anyway

[real coral]

Have you ever played a sim game on controller? They don't go out of their way dumb down anything. Not even War Thunder does.

[wise creek]

Is it just me that feels like arma reforger is very unfriendly to mods which add in new armor and stuff?

[safe sable]

war thunder doesn't really have a lot of keybinds

[lusty elm]

Y'all realise that arma 3 had controller support right?

[real coral]

???????????????

[safe sable]

except when it comes to missiles and if you really want to mess with engine settings

[real coral]

Have you ever set up keybinds in warthunder Sim difficulty?

[lusty elm]

Also y'all realise that you can fly pretty much every aircraft in DCS with an Xbox controller

[safe sable]

yes

[lusty elm]

So why are you worried about "dumbing down"

[safe sable]

because arma is a lot more complex than war thunder

[calm lion]

But they did, the UI, character animations, particle effects, and probably more I'm not remembering, I don't give a flying fuck about console but I just want to retain 'arma'

[lusty elm]

Its not more complex then dcs

[real coral]

They want something to hate, it seems. Something to blame for the game being early access

[safe sable]

like i said im not against console, what @calm lion

[lusty elm]

Which is what I said

[calm lion]

What?

[safe sable]

you're actually stupid for saying that caboose.
@calm lion i meant to say 'what he said'

[calm lion]

Oh my bad lol

[real coral]

I hope not

[safe sable]

we don't want something to hate lol it's just that controller fucks things up

[calm lion]

Indeed, please refer to my previous comments

At the end of the day I love reforger and can't wait for it to grow but it SEEMS like they sacrificed quite a bit to get it on console which is worrying for arma 4, does that help clarify? @real coral

[rich spindle]

maybe increase texture quality

[open vapor]

Also make sure to bring it close to your face if you haven't already, there's a button for it, R on PC

[uncut prawn]

Your render resolution is too low

[cinder vessel]

Whats the fourth symbol at Shtanga supposed to be

[copper prism]

oh, thank you! I can read it now!

[tawny shale]

Hello, can someone help me to remap key and mouse bindings so that a friend of mine that is left handed can play with me ? I only need to know how to setup .chimeraUserInput.conf so that I can manually add hold key and double tap key commands

[mellow jolt]

ye figured. looks good so far

[chrome star]

I have it on PC and Xbox, just checked, can't use M&K on the console version, but would be the solution if you could

[uncut prawn]

I play on pc, but I did download the trial on Xbox. The framerate seemed janky

Should be using FSR if they can (I have a series x)

[outer flame]

There's probably some stuff like blooms\aberrations\flare reflections (which I dont like tbh) that can be turn off to a smoother performance without impacting graphic quality that much... right? Which ones?

[rich spindle]

I've got a 2060 and ultra runs 60+

[rich spindle]

I feel like those won't impact performance at all

[patent trail]

Hello, Got a question. dunno where to head with this issue. Anyways the issue when playing and go into the inventory I get weird colour line https://gyazo.com/fc5fa61fc44036212f724eaf5ce63a84 like this but once i jump out of inventory and move around it disappear. how do i get rid of it completely?

[fiery flare]

The most important question of all ---- any Arma 4 teases coming our way before the end of the year? Like maybe setting and lore infos?

[vapid summit]

any idea why im able to hear myself when talking over long range radio when my short range radio is a different frequency

[floral fractal]

Anybody know how to test mods out offline? Trying a few BI sample ones and they don't appear in the crates mentioned in the description.

[hidden briar]

when or will arma reforger come on geforce now

[daring socket]

Still nothing from devs on game being unstable and crashing?

[uncut prawn]

correct

[uncut prawn]

is one of them on channel 48

[vapid summit]

i think it was yes

[uncut prawn]

everyone can hear 48

[daring socket]

Damn that’s not good for weekend

[vapid summit]

I was on 38 and 48

[uncut prawn]

so technically you have your radios on the same channel feeding back

because the one on 38 can hear 48 too

[vapid summit]

so how should I be using the long range radio, do I need to use a short range radio along with it or no?

[uncut prawn]

I just turn the short range off, unless you wanna split with another group quick you can use the other one for that and still hear your own squads channel

[vapid summit]

so you just have the long range set to your squads radio and you can hear command channels anyway?

[uncut prawn]

in my experience its annoying when people are talking in 48 if it's not directly related to coordinating something since everyone can hear it lol and you're probably trying to do something

yeah thats my understanding anyways

there might be more info in the hand guide, it has lots of stuff regarding navigation and stuff too

[vapid summit]

so then only switch to 48 when you need to talk to command since you'll be able to hear 48 at all times on the long range

[uncut prawn]

yeah exactly

[vapid summit]

got it, thanks

[uncut prawn]

you have to switch back and fourth between the radios to use them anyways if you have them both on so its not really any different to just change the channel

[shadow talon]

is there a way to publish a mod/terrain, without using the feature in the workbench?

[rich rune]

How long (estimate) will it take for the multiplayer and crash glitches to be fixed on Xbox? They are game-breaking bugs which make some features un-usable

[chrome star]

You're in the same boat as the PC players, I'm afraid,I hear a patch is tomorrow, but what it contains 🤷‍♂️

[dawn widget]

god i hope setting is the same, i love the vibe of reforger and the old maps of ofp

[lone hamlet]

does anyone know why i become an 5000 Ping when i join in regular game ?

[wanton wave]

How do you make a point spawnable?

[stray rapids]

Is there a way to save Conflict progress/rank between restarts?

We can work around it with GM, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything official

[arctic rune]

I am curious, are the events that are on display (this new conflict in 1989) canon in the Armaverse? or is it just a side thing that is not considered canon?

[amber fog]

Do the bipods work?

[floral fractal]

AFAIK not at this moment.

[amber fog]

thanks

[rich spindle]

only when you prone

[sinful locust]

Anyone figured out a way to save your single player conflict game yet?

[stray rapids]

I would say it's canon. Had BI not mentioned anything about it being a couple years after OFP, then I'd say it's just an alternate reality.

[undone epoch]

has the fog weather setting ben removed, I could have sworn the fog option was present when it was released?

[warped canyon]

hey has the masssive disconnects get fixed? i havent played since launch

[unreal surge]

Ive played like 6 games 0 disconnects

[warped canyon]

nice]

[unreal surge]

since patch

[warped canyon]

😮 when was patch?

[unreal surge]

yesterday

ive seen ppl disconnect but only like once a game and the servers dont crash so its an improvement just be patient and im sure something more stable will come soon

[jolly moth]

It’s still annoying af to group up your squad. We don’t have map markers at all. I need to color with crayons on my map

[merry oasis]

is key rebinding just fucked now?

[warped canyon]

i just got dc'ed

guess i really cant play this game =/

[sand verge]

i need this man's luck

[unreal surge]

join a low ping 32 player official server

[sand verge]

and if RNGesus feels like it he'll let you play

[dim rivet]

how do you know if its an offical server?

[unreal surge]

it will have the 9 numbers after it

[dim rivet]

well im not getting "internal error" but im still getting disconnected so i guess im just gonna have to wait until this blows over

[unreal surge]

yh some ppl are

just wait it will be soon

[dim rivet]

im going away on holiday monday so hopefully its been resolved for when im back

[daring socket]

I get disconnected every game I’m lucky if I get an hour in straight with no DC and that’s with 15 hours of game play… it’s been a nightmare

[silver tulip]

why am i getting kicked out of every server after 2 minutes

is the networking that bad?

[lofty vessel]

How do you create custom loadout? is it possible in Game MAster?

[daring socket]

Pretty sure it’s broke the load outs

[ember bay]

On the map, the enemy bases have radio frequencies. What is that for?

[rocky cairn]

Is Reforger worth it atm? Contemplating buying it just don't know if I should wait.

[ember bay]

Depends on your expectations mate. If your an arma fan, it's probably worth it.

[fathom quartz]

No

[lyric citrus]

I'd say no, if you do buy it consider it a donation to BI to support Arma 4. The engine is really neat and I enjoyed playing in it but if you want actual gameplay it's not quite there yet.

[distant plume]

Nope.

[fathom quartz]

You can’t even play the game on Xbox it always says “connection error”.

[viscid swallow]

mic aint working in reforger, holding T, name lights up, but no one can hear me

[timber sparrow]

how do i save what i created so that way i can re load it any time? in game master

also how do i start a server thats not dedicated and for friends only?

[sand verge]

is there any way to place myself at a random point in the map in game master

[fringe summit]

Get pc

[fringe summit]

Change ur voice input device in Windows settings dude change from default to the one u want

[simple laurel]

has anyone used nitrado to host a reforger server yet?

[rich spindle]

if you are a person who would cry over a game that has bugs, no

[sand verge]

hey so i was trying to get a zeus mission going and the objectives werent popping up for either side

even though i opened up the american flag on the left lower corner and slapped down an objective

[novel finch]

guys]

[sand verge]

did i do something wrong

[glass jolt]

i would probably wait until the multiplayer is a bit more stable and if you are interested more in PvE i would wait until the AI improves as its really shoddy right now, AI being unable to take cover or drive vehicles

[languid oxide]

how to make loadout

[novel finch]

how i open a private server

to play only with my friends

[glass jolt]

you need to run a dedicated server, player hosted servers are not a thing in reforger at least atm

[rich spindle]

can't atm I believe

[hallow hamlet]

How do i play coop scenario with a friend

[glass jolt]

you cant run a player hosted server like in arma 3, you have to run a dedicated server

[hallow hamlet]

Is there a tutorial to doing that

[glass jolt]

i think there is a guide pinned somewhere in the discord

yeah check pins in #reforger_servers

http://armaverseproject.com/reforgerserver.html

[fathom quartz]

I’m not spending 2k for 20 more fps

[gritty raven]

okay then spend it for endless amounts of more opportunity easier than on console

[languid oxide]

how to order ai into cars?

[livid ravine]

Why does my sensitivity decrease when I move my mouse fast?

[signal spruce]

If you can recreate this issue in a clear repro on how this occurs, submit it here with video: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/feedback

[livid ravine]

what does persistent aiming down sights do?

[languid oxide]

@signal spruce do you know

[signal spruce]

If you're playing as Game Master (Zeus) there is a "Get In" waypoint you can put to vehicles. However, at the moment, they can not drive vehicles.

[daring socket]

anyone else encounter the invisible bugged player yet?

[austere shadow]

Are you programming/organising a new map?

[austere shadow]

For the people in VC

[austere shadow]

@fallen night

[fallen night]

Hey didn't see yeah helping get started

Importing heightmap setting up

[austere shadow]

Aight ty

[languid oxide]

where do i find that

[signal spruce]

Play as Zeus, select the group of AI, and it will appear in the bottom right to select as one of the waypoints.

[regal turtle]

Is there any plans to implement inverse kinematics to legs and feet placement?

[arctic rune]

I am curious, are side relations still the same thing (where two blufor factions will never attack eachother outside of friendly fire incidents)? or is it faction based, where 2 faction on the same side can fight eachother?

[stiff dawn]

Hi is there some kind of friends system that allows me and my Xbox buddies to play together?

[static sigil]

I think he means him and his other Xbox friends

Unless he is playing on PC

[stiff dawn]

I'm on PC, I'm trying to find out if its possible to play crossplatform.

[static sigil]

Oh, well like Fuzzy said, it is not implemented yet

[stiff dawn]

Thanks for the reply!

[dusk peak]

Am I detecting some mouse acceleration? If so, is it possible to disable?

[dawn dome]

How do you change the view distance to 10km? Slider only goes to 5km

[shut sierra]

how to swtich gamemaster in singleplay confilct

[warm scaffold]

What’s up with Red hammers status quo im to lazy to watch the streams

[gritty raven]

if we get an eta on the patch, where should we expect to like see that posted?

[glass jolt]

with the last patch it was on the reforger website and on twitter

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news

[gritty raven]

k, ty

[crude copper]

I was thinking of buying arma reforger do you guys think its worth it to buy it now?

[fathom loom]

No

At the very least, even though I’m not a huge fan of the game tech demo, wait until the servers are 100% fixed

[fleet lodge]

Anyone know why I can't pick up RPG ammo? https://imgur.com/a/fd2ZXUK

[wooden vine]

Are some mods good to go now? Like the Colt 3x20

[weak creek]

Does anyone know how to get the AI to stay in vics and drive them?

[random cape]

Further up this channel: #reforger_questions message

[weak creek]

Thanks boss

[random cape]

Nillers has mentioned that there would be three major content updates over the course of this game's twelve-month early access period, however no promises about what functionality would be updated or when

[fathom quartz]

Does anybody know the eta of the server fixes yet?

[small shard]

Wondering the same thing ^

[scenic minnow]

^

[naive lake]

anybody else getting bugs where vehicles in the game master wont turn?

[hardy merlin]

is the motor pool the only way to get a supply truck?

[floral fractal]

Yes

[chrome star]

No, but do buy arma 3 if you haven't already

[jolly carbon]

Maybe tmrw

[static sigil]

is it safe to download mods now or can my computer still get like deleted

[tame pulsar]

I don't think it was ever unsafe

[static sigil]

I was told by several people that the owner of the files in the mod could like enter other directories in your computer

some of the mods look kinda cool I just don't wanna let people into my computer

[tame pulsar]

scripting only has access to $save and $profile directories, afaik

[static sigil]

So it's probably okay then?

[tame pulsar]

ye

[static sigil]

Ok thanks

[gusty wraith]

Does anyone tbink that there will be a launcher for the mods like A3Launcher and the DZSA launcher ?

[tame pulsar]

if mods continue to work like they do now, there would be no need for that

[jade yoke]

I'm wondering if we'll see newer assets in mods like how arma 3 has.

[tawny frigate]

How do you join servers with over 32 people capped?

[sand verge]

basically uh

dont

[clear current]

Do you have an RPG ammo pouch or satchel whatever its called

[neat fox]

is there a way to draw staff on the map ingame? Like Lines and stuff?

[elder shale]

How do you listen in on enemy radio channel?

[vale jungle]

Probably not because it's dummed down for console peepees

[stiff elk]

Kill one and pick up radio

[sharp estuary]

How do I change my class it won’t let me go to loadout? Also when will it be more optimized I’m getting 30 fps at most

[coral magnet]

drawing on maps will definitely be added with mods, same way it was added in arma 2 and 3

[vale jungle]

Arma 4 probably won't be on console

[coral magnet]

https://i.imgur.com/ExaSJ44.png

[vale jungle]

If it is we are doomed and the game will be limited

[scarlet wolf]

why do people keep saying this. The only reason to have console support (which is a massive effort) on reforger is to have it in arma 4

its doomed

[vale jungle]

Console is gonna ruin it for us PC users. Look at the crappy UI for a prime example.

Game master takes up the entire screen and is just horrible because they tailored it for Conshite

[scarlet wolf]

its not just the ui, they most likely simplified things like AI to make it run on consoles. Its a very far-reaching kind of thing

there is no hope basically

[stiff elk]

117 fps on a laptop here, turn on fsr and set scaling to 1080p

[vale jungle]

Whats fsr

[coral magnet]

they made the base game dumber but they made modding capabilities about a thousand times more powerful

they will make their quick buck with console players, and the true PC community will keep modding the game for the next 10 years... so relax

[stiff elk]

It's pc only(i think?), in graphics settings menu.

[vale jungle]

Not seen it I am pc

[stiff elk]

It's like 5th checkbox down in graphics below scaling slider

[vale jungle]

Ah thanks bud

[sharp estuary]

So when is Arma 4 coming out?

[scarlet wolf]

thats naive. (mostly) vanilla game will always be the main thing people play, its always an inconvenience to use mods. Nobody is gonna redo the combat or AI

[vale jungle]

Year or 2 leaning more towards 2

[coral magnet]

who cares what other people play, i dont know anyone who plays any vanilla arma game mode or uses vanilla content

its all modded maps, RHS, CUP, ACE, ACRE, etc

[scarlet wolf]

most people do. Most, almost all servers also run stock AI in arma 3. The fundamentals wont be changed by modders in the scale you believe

[coral magnet]

all of that is irrelevant

if you play vanilla arma 3 TODAY, then yeah, probably prepare to be sad for future reforger/4 vanilla. but if you do private/community PVP or COOP events like ShackTac, then you definitely have nothing to worry about

[scenic badger]

Tried to play Prairie Fire today and it was sad

[scarlet wolf]

being restricted to play on a schedule is something so disgusting to me i cant understand it. But you're right about the sad future part

[coral magnet]

after playing in a community for almost a decade, the schedule is nice. it prevents you from burning out if you want to keep playing for so long

[scarlet wolf]

and again, thinking modders are gonna redo the base mechanics is a very optimistic thing

[coral magnet]

when i play an ARPG for 18h/day for a week or two, i no longer want to see that ARPG for another year after im done grinding

[tame pulsar]

the amount of power new tools give to modders is unprecedented. Now more than any time before we can expect modders to change stuff in the scale you don't believe

[green bronze]

I just want to ask a question. Is someone allowed to make a new game in Enfusion instead of using it to make content for Arma 4?

[tame pulsar]

also +1 to not believing that "most people play vanilla"

[coral magnet]

reforger modders arent even modders anymore... the tools put them on the same level as a developer

3d artists, animators, programmers. theyre not modders anymore, congrats on your promotion

[scarlet wolf]

so the plan is apparently to publish a casualized dumbed down game to sell on consoles while hoping the community you ignored will fix the game for themselves. Forgive me but that sounds funny, almost sad

but yeah, probably best to stay optimistic

[tame pulsar]

I mean, vanilla arma 3 is already quite dumb if you compare it to what the communities actually play

[sand mantle]

Any news on when the next server update will be out?

[tame pulsar]

no one knows

[scenic badger]

maybe Monday

[green bronze]

I am not trying to defend BI but you cannot compare the work of a single studio with the work a community of hundreds if not thousands modders

[scenic badger]

there's at least supposed to be a status update Monday

[gaunt knoll]

This is by the looks of it the route we seem to be going down sadly

[vale jungle]

Agreed thanks to console Arma belongs on PC only

[rigid ivy]

any way i can make the corpses stay for longer? they disappear super quick

[sand verge]

sitll cant download any mods

what bug is this its annoying, is anyone else experiencing this? It worked fine yesterday

[tame moon]

how do I open the map in the world editor?

or move the camera

[ashen shell]

Practically everyone I know plays A3 with ACE 🤷‍♂️

[slim fjord]

Does anybody know the real reasons why multiplayer doesent work?
I first thought I and some others were the only ones with the problem but now everybody is talking about it.
First I thought my connection is so bad and im not loading fast enough so im timing out thats why im in water because that means it finished loading but not collecting enough info

[unreal junco]

it seems that the game is very heavy on network so i guess if you have just a smudge of connection issue at some point it can grow to disconnect or maybe worst

[slim fjord]

maybe the servers have a hard time trying to connect not our connections...

[normal solar]

Hello everyone, wanted to ask if Reforger supports custom single player scenarios/missions to download from the workshop? I can't play solo conflict properly because I'm having huge troubles navigating the world without any indicators, so having smaller missions would be great

[hot talon]

hello' When I exit the gunner seat on a HUMVEE it drops me on top of the vehicle. Is that just how it is right now or is it an issue on my end specifically?

[unreal junco]

well it work both ways of course some guy talked about 300mbs upload for 60 people so home made servers are gonna have issues for sure ^^

[slim fjord]

There is a mod called "Where am I" which shows your location on the map. currently there are not really scenarios sorry.

[unreal junco]

yes its possible and probably worked on by multiple units/modders

[normal solar]

Great, will download it then, will be a huge help
Thanks!

[slim fjord]

Its right, since irl you probally will go out on the top. you can try to go in a seat below and then exit the vehicle if you want that

[slim fjord]

no problem!

[sly creek]

How do you spin the structures when building? Tutorial says left and right on the d pad but that doesn’t seem to work

[slim fjord]

are you on pc or xbox? I guess xbox?

[wintry shale]

Is there a way to tilt/turn the spotlight in the jeep?

[last moss]

Wonder if towing will come to Reforger/A4; https://youtu.be/LoSj29F-wHo

Being able to stably tow logistics and vehicles would be awesome

[bronze python]

Hey what’s the official player count for Xbox and steam

[wintry shale]

42 is the platoon frequency as far as I know

for coordinating across squads

[sand verge]

Does anyone else when aiming down sights fully zoomed in it goes back to the mode before a full zoom?

[slim fjord]

do local servers work?

[bronze python]

Will Xbox servers have more than 64 players in the future

[stoic gorge]

Does anyone know how often costal bases resupply?

[bronze python]

They resupply overtime

[stoic gorge]

Is there a specific number for how long it takes?

[chrome sphinx]

Probably yes

[glass stirrup]

Is there a fix to make the sensitivyty not deaccelerate on fast movements?

[bronze python]

It should be 1000 or so supplies idk how much

[unkempt bay]

Servers up?

[bronze python]

I hope so bc I would like to run larger ops for my Xbox unit

[signal pine]

when will you fix servers?

[slim fjord]

no

[ionic lantern]

Is there a way to change the directory the addons are currently downloaded and stored in?
I have noticed it is going straight to C:\Documents\My Games\Reforger.
I usually reserve the OS partition for Windows and some software, and for that, it is has a lower size than my other partitions, and as soon as the game starts to have more addons and heavier ones, it is prone to clog up the partition.

[unique thistle]

Are there already any singleplayer missions?

[sand verge]

How many member do you have ?

[rich rune]

Can laying on a grenade save your allies? My test has been inconclusive, sometimes they live, sometimes they die.

[gloomy meadow]

How much does Enfusion, Reforger & R. editor benefit from multithreading / more "performance" cores?
(Happy to continue on Enfusion specific channels if this goes deeper into engine internals.)

[hoary ocean]

@gloomy meadow I have no accurate or in-depth answer for you, but so far it seems reforger uses or utilizes more cores than Arma 3 does.

[random cape]

Not until 1) the server issues are fixed, and 2) the content level in the game is enough for you (a community manager has announced three major content updates over the next twelve months, but nothing about what's being added)

[sand verge]

Well most likely new stuff what most arma games have that we currently don’t have ?

[random cape]

Ehhhh, 2) is very much subjective/individual

[cosmic folio]

How do you use push to talk on a controller on pc? I can't map it to any button. How do people communicate with a controller now

[rigid ivy]

any way to make the corpses stay longer? they disappear so fast in conflict i can't even loot them

[broken brook]

is the framerate capped actually ? somtimes its a bit over 60 fps but it looks like its forced to 60

[hoary ocean]

I haven’t messed around in something like GameMaster settings to see if you can force them to stay longer. They do disappear fast in multiplayer however, it’s noticeably quick.

[slim fjord]

you can cap it in settings but usually it isnt

[rigid ivy]

i don't think that setting is even in game master, maybe you need to edit the mission files in the reforger tools

[broken brook]

@slim fjord it checked the settings and there was no limit set

[rigid ivy]

but i don't wanna go digging around in the files

[patent jungle]

Trying Reason: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ffac8a9a9c0 at 0x10

[hoary ocean]

I don’t think it is, but there is an option to setcap the FPS of the server itself. I’m not sure how that is affecting client side, but it could be what you are seeing on hosted servers.

[broken brook]

is there a way to check if the server is capped ? for me as player. just to avoid adjusting the settings for no reason 🙂

[hoary ocean]

I’m not entirely sure if there is a way to see. You could try asking in the server section, those guys know a lot more than I do. If you are fiddling with your settings though, a single player mode like Game Master is uncapped.

[broken brook]

will have a look at single player. only tryed mp so far.

[lean sierra]

same

[daring socket]

Servers still kicking people?

[fickle wedge]

yes but less

[feral fjord]

Has the server stability / netcode been improved yet?

oh just saw above message

[wild jacinth]

How do I install mods on a server I own through nitrado?

[slate trellis]

does the enemy see if you deploy your mobile HQ?

[gloomy meadow]

I see that advertised in the Reforger FAQ too - but would like some specifics, like how much is it done currently, what are the aspirations for Arma 4/Enfusion, how is the editor (or Game Master) workload different. Useful for planning hardware upgrades, but more general curiosity where things are going long term 😄

[hidden lark]

You could simlink that directory to another.

[gloomy meadow]

If BI can't give definite answers for the time being, it could be a cool topic to talk about in future dev interviews ☝️ Utilizing the current 4+ performance cores can be a strategic asset in providing richer gaming experiences

[hoary ocean]

@gloomy meadow I’m not sure if this helps but if would like to monitor it yourself, anything that will allow you to monitor your cpu cores is enough to see how they are being utilized when the game is running. There does seem to be fairly ample multi threading utilization. Even when there are numerous AI on screen in GameMaster, I’ve yet to see much performance loss. Arma3 AI would shred performance on my rig.

[sand verge]

how do i enable FSR in reforger, just the on switch? or do i also have to change res in game?

[errant scarab]

servers workin yet ?

[tame pulsar]

Not yet

[errant scarab]

sad

[strange igloo]

How do the ranks work in conflict?
Are ranks a default game mechanic or some plugin?
Are ranks universal over all servers or does progress track per server?
What do ranks give you?

[tidal topaz]

Ranks allow you to order better vehicles from the motor-pool but I'm not sure what else

[golden magnet]

Is there a reason behind high internet usage when playing on populated servers?

[languid oxide]

how do i host a server

[tame pulsar]

You will need to set up a dedicated server. You can't do client-host like you did in arma 3. Check #reforger_servers for more info

[hallow pagoda]

how we can disable the negative mouse acceleration?

[sonic tartan]

AI nodes are calculated on one thread, which is the same thread as the script interpreter (main thread)

[amber fog]

is there a fix for the Humvee glitch where you cant turn right?

[solemn hatch]

Does that also occur for any other vehicle or just the HMMWV?

[amber fog]

Ive only experienced it with the HMMWV, but im just going to test whether it happens with all vics

[solemn hatch]

Okay, unfortunately I can't tell you how to fix or work around that bug. Make sure to report that if it wasn't already.

[rich spindle]

I think I got that on the btr

[amber fog]

The UAZ seems to be fine, but the ural seems to have the same problem and the transport truck for the US

[worthy ocean]

Sounds like a broken axle Kekw

[dusk moth]

Is there any way to browse the workshop on mobile, or otherwise outside of the game?

[fathom python]

is it me or do the updates to mods on reforge take for everrr

[wild jacinth]

Can Xbox players use the nitrado servers?

[sleek wharf]

Yes look for [official] servers

[charred sail]

we know at least one of the content updates will bring helicopters, as people have already found preview files of a UH and hind variant

[thick basalt]

afaik it was a UH-1 Huey and a Mi-8 Hip in the files

[frail surge]

French people working on an life rp mod ?

[rocky vortex]

Umm. Is there a reason why I suddenly lose a weapon? On US and had an SVD for a good little bit and then just lost it.

[regal mesa]

when are they fixing the disconecting issue

[uncut prawn]

Feeling like not this weekend haha

[random yew]

When its fixed

[regal mesa]

bruh im just wanna play the game i spent my money on dummy

[tame mural]

I see reforger is "calling home" with some metrics (CPU, GPU, system, resolution). Is that mentioned anywhere? Any way to opt-out?

sending data to https://in.treasuredata.com/postback/v3/event/reforger/evt_app

[vale jungle]

Wait what?? Sending data?

[signal knoll]

Play on 32 slot servers

If you don't get kicked in first 5 minutes you are good to go (average amount of kicks per 2 hours shouldn't exceed 3)

If you get kicked then restart your PC and retry

[tame mural]

Yes, metrics collecting on various events (like leaving lobby, joining server, ...). common tracking

[vale jungle]

Maybe seeing what hardware people have or something

[gentle linden]

Does the Preview version of Reforger on XBox have its own set of servers? Cause I tried to join a server my friend said he was on but couldnt find it

He was on the 6hr trial btw

[tame mural]

If I remember well there is no cross-play for now.

[gentle linden]

really? I thought they said it was crossplay on release?
